Lutz Preparatory School K-8 NEWSFLASH, V6 Issue 22, December 8, 2017
Dear Lutz Preparatory Families,

Hi, my name is Abby.  I’m principal for the day at Lutz Preparatory School.
 
Everybody is learning about the 7 Habits at our school.  They are important because we know how to act and have skills that will help us in the future.   If your child participated in the Holiday Program today, they did a great job.  All of the principals, including me, were impressed.

If you went to SMATH Night remember to give your Passport to your teacher to collect your free dress pass.  Teachers in K-5 will hand out the free dress pass sometime next week.
 
Have a great weekend and Go Bolts.

Sincerely,

Principal Abby
